Selects all text after the prompt. (phase 1)
Else
Selects the entire buffer. (phase 2)Extra Fun with CTRL + A
CTRL + A behavior is interesting. Regardless of the state of mark mode and quick edit mode, one of two things should happen. Either the entire buffer is selected, or (only in a single case) '2-Phase select' starts. 2-Phase select is the process where the first CTRL-A selects the characters to the right of the edit line prompt, and the second press selects the entire buffer.
Editing keys
As I mentioned above you can copy and paste text with the keyboard. When copying text, you might worry that CTRL + C has always been the BREAK command. This is a nice touch, it will still send the break signal to the running application when no text is selected. The first CTRL-C copies the text and clears the selection, and the second one signals the break. Nice attention to detail, IMHO.
Editing Key Combination Description CTRL + V Paste text into the command line. SHIFT + INS Paste text into the command line. CTRL + C Copy selected text to the clipboard. CTRL + INS Copy selected text to the clipboard. Mark mode keys
These keys function in mark mode. You can enter this mode by right-clicking anywhere in the console title bar and choosing Edit->Mark from the context menu as before, or via the new shortcut combination, CTRL-M. In the original console, mark mode resulted in block mode text selection. While in mark mode, you can hold down the ALT key at the start of a text selection command to use block mode in the new console. The selection key combinations above are all available in mark mode. CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW operations select by character and not by word while in mark mode.
Mark Mode Key Combination Description CTRL + M Enter "Mark Mode" to move cursor within window. ALT In conjunction with one of the selection key combinations, begins selection in block mode. ARROW KEYS Move cursor in the direction specified. PAGE KEYS Move cursor by one page in the direction specified. CTRL + HOME Move cursor to beginning of buffer. CTRL + END Move cursor to end of buffer. History navigation keys
Navigation Key Combination Description CTRL + UP ARROW Moves up one line in the output history. CTRL + DOWN ARROW Moves down one line in the output history. CTRL + PAGE UP Moves up one page in the output history. CTRL + PAGE DOWN Moves down one page in the output history. Other keys
Other Key Combination Description CTRL + F Opens "Find" in console dialog. ALT + F4 Close the console window, of course!
Windows 10’s newfound support for keyboard shortcuts in the Command Prompt isn’t enabled by default, however. To enable it, right-click the Command Prompt’s title bar and select Properties. Open the new-to-Windows-10 “Experimental” tab and check the box next to “Enable experimental console features.” Finally, check the boxes next to “Enable new Ctrl key shortcuts” and “Extended edit keys,” then click OK.
Happy testing!
